Psa 22:1
For the choir director. According to [fn]Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.
My God H410, my God H410, why H4100 have You forsaken H5800 me?
[fn]Far H7350 from my salvation H3444 are the words H1697 of my [fn]groaning H7581.
Psa 22:2
O my God H430, I call H7121 by day H3119, but You do not answer H6030;
And by night H3915, but [fn]I have no H3808 rest H1747.
Psa 22:3
Yet You are holy H6918,
[fn]Enthroned H3427 upon the praises H8416 of Israel H3478.
Psa 22:4
In You our fathers H1 trusted H982;
They trusted H982 and You rescued H6403 them.
Psa 22:5
To You they cried H2199 out H2199 and were granted escape H4422;
In You they trusted H982 and were H954 not [fn]disappointed H954.
Psa 22:6
But I am a worm H8439 and not a man H376,
A reproach H2781 of men H120 and despised H959 by the people H5971.
Psa 22:7
All H3605 who see H7200 me mock H3932 me;
They [fn]smack H6362 their lip H8193, they wag H5128 their head H7218, saying,
Psa 22:8
“[fn]Commit H1556 yourself to Yahweh H3068; let Him rescue H6403 him;
Let Him deliver H5337 him, because H3588 He delights H2654 in him.”
Psa 22:9
Yet H3588 You are He who brought H1518 me out H1518 of the womb H990;
You made me trust H982 when upon my mother’s H517 breasts H7699.
Psa 22:10
Upon You I was cast H7993 from [fn]birth H7358;
You have been my God H410 from my mother’s H517 womb H990.
Psa 22:11
Be H7368 not far H7368 from me, for [fn]distress H6869 is near H7138;
For there H369 is H369 none H369 to help H5826.
Psa 22:12
Many H7227 bulls H6499 have surrounded H5437 me;
Strong H47 bulls of Bashan H1316 have encircled H3803 me.
Psa 22:13
They open H6475 wide H6475 their mouth H6310 at me,
As a lion H738 that tears H2963 and roars H7580.
Psa 22:14
I am poured H8210 out H8210 like water H4325,
And all H3605 my bones H6106 are out of joint H6504;
My heart H3820 is like wax H1749;
It is melted H4549 within H8432 [fn]me.
Psa 22:15
My strength H3581 is dried H3001 up H3001 like a potsherd H2789,
And my tongue H3956 cleaves H1692 to my jaws H4455;
And You lay H8239 me [fn]in the dust H6083 of death H4194.
Psa 22:16
For dogs H3611 have surrounded H5437 me;
[fn]A band H5712 of evildoers H7489 has encompassed H5362 me;
[fn]They pierced H3564 my hands H3027 and my feet H7272.
Psa 22:17
I count H5608 all H3605 my bones H6106.
They look H5027, they stare H7200 at me;
Psa 22:18
They divide H2505 my garments H899 among them,
And for my clothing H3830 they cast H5307 lots H1486.
Psa 22:19
But You, O Yahweh H3068, be H7368 not far H7368 off;
O my Strength H360, hasten H2363 to my help H5833.
Psa 22:20
Deliver H5337 my [fn]soul H5315 from the sword H2719,
My only H3173 life from the [fn]power H3027 of the dog H3611.
Psa 22:21
Save H3467 me from the mouth H6310 of the lion H738;
From the horns H7161 of the wild H7214 oxen H7214 You have answered H6030 me.
Psa 22:22
I will surely recount H5608 Your name H8034 to my brothers H251;
In the midst H8432 of the assembly H6951 I will praise H1984 You.
Psa 22:23
You who fear H3372 Yahweh H3068, praise H1984 Him;
All H3605 you seed H2233 of Jacob H3290, glorify H3513 Him,
And stand H1481 in H1481 awe H1481 of Him, all H3605 you seed H2233 of Israel H3478.
Psa 22:24
For He has not despised H959 and He has not H3808 abhorred H8262 the affliction H6039 of the afflicted H6041;
And He has not H3808 hidden H5641 His face H6440 from him;
But when he cried H7768 to Him for H7768 help H7768, He heard H8085.
Psa 22:25
Of You is my praise H8416 in the great H7227 assembly H6951;
I shall pay H7999 my vows H5088 before H5048 those who fear H3372 Him.
Psa 22:26
The [fn]afflicted H6035 will eat H398 and be H7646 satisfied H7646;
Those who seek H1875 Him will praise H1984 Yahweh H3068.
May your heart H3824 live H2421 forever H5703!
Psa 22:27
All H3605 the ends H657 of the earth H776 will remember H2142 and turn H7725 to Yahweh H3068,
And all H3605 the families H4940 of the nations H1471 will worship H2331 before H6440 [fn]You.
Psa 22:28
For the kingdom H4410 is Yahweh’s H3068
And He rules H4910 over the nations H1471.
Psa 22:29
All H3605 the [fn]prosperous H1879 of the earth H776 will eat H398 and worship H2331,
All H3605 those who go H3381 down H3381 to the dust H6083 will bow H3766 before H6440 Him,
Even he who [fn]cannot H3808 keep H2421 his soul H5315 alive H2421.
Psa 22:30
Their seed H2233 will serve H5647 Him;
It will be recounted H5608 about the Lord H136 to the coming generation H1755.
Psa 22:31
They will come H935 and will declare H5046 His righteousness H6666
To a people H5971 who will be born H3205, that He has done H6213 it.
